Student Groups

Michigan Anthropology Graduate Students (MAGS)

Michigan Anthropology Graduate Students (MAGS) is a graduate student-run group that supports graduate students of anthropology in creating a positive environment and in fostering academic professionalism.

Rackham Student Government

The University of Michigan Graduate Student Government is comprised of elected students representing all graduate programs administered by the Rackham Graduate School, including: Health and Biological Sciences, Engineering and Physical Sciences, Social Sciences,Arts and Humanities, and Education.

The Board meets weekly during the academic year on Wednesdays at 7:15 PM in the Rackham West Study Lounge, South Alcove. All students are welcome to attend.

Michicagoan: Graduate Student Conference in Linguistic Anthropology

The Michicagoan graduate conference organized by students in the Linguistic Anthropology program is an annual international and interdisciplinary event that fosters intellectual exchange between graduate students and faculty in anthropology, linguistics, and area studies from the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago.

Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops

The Rackham School of Graduate Studies sponsors an on-going program of interdisciplinary graduate student and faculty workshops. The groups to be supported should be self-organized by the participants, have an ongoing core membership, and meet regularly throughout the academic year. There should be an interdisciplinary goal or end product. As examples, you might consider increasing knowledge in a specific targeted area with the goal of developing a publishable paper, a conference, a grant proposal or a research project. We expect that most groups will discuss members’ work in progress and published scholarship on relevant topics, and they may include discussion with invited visitors; other activities may be proposed as appropriate.
